Popis: | In summary, use of the gastroepiploic artery for coronary revascularization provides a reliable arterial conduit without increasing post-operative length of hospitalization, peri-operative morbidity or mortality. Reported mid-term patency rates exceed those of saphenous vein grafts and are comparable to internal thoracic artery grafts. Thus, the gastroepiploic artery is exceeded only by the internal thoracic artery as the preferable conduit in coronary revascularization. |
